MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Three people were detained at protests in Tel Aviv, the Jerusalem Post newspaper reported, citing Israeli police.
According to the publication, the Israeli police noted that the protesters endangered people’s lives by moving contrary to the agreed route towards the busy Ayalon Highway, along which cars were moving at high speed.
Earlier, a Sputnik correspondent reported that dozens of activists began to riot and blocked the city’s central highway after mass rallies in Tel Aviv in support of a ceasefire deal to free the Israeli hostages in the Gaza Strip.
According to Israeli data, 107 hostages remain in the captivity of the Palestinian movement Hamas, about 40 of whom are believed to be dead. During various operations and humanitarian efforts, 148 people were returned from Hamas captivity, including the dead hostages whose bodies were evacuated from the enclave.
After the end of the rally, dozens of protesters began to block nearby streets, engage in altercations with the police and throw garbage on the roads. A small group of activists managed to block the city’s central highway, the Ayalon Highway.
